Ask for the first update to V2.0. With the release of Rivals of Ixalan and new dinosaurs, it comes time to cut some cards and add better cards. Here is a list of what cards will be added and cut. I will update the deck list as I get the cards. I am just waiting on the mail to get them.

FILLERS
I am adding the tap lands that gain me life from the Tarkir block as fillers until I can get my greedy hands on the original dual lands. I will not switch out the cards on TappedOut.

Mike94, I think you are right on about that. I think it has better drawing power, because once you get a fatty on the table, its drawing cards for you every turn, which is easier than playing a fatty every turn. Great call. I'm adding it to my decklist now.

I am actually thinking of dropping Garruk's Packleader, but he works well with Gishath's ability, because it's when the creature enters the battlefield. Not when casted. So even the tokens count. Drawing power isn't too bad so far in all my test plays. It's mostly an issue with protecting the dinosaurs. :/

CardTyrant, that's always a problem if you play fun value decks, I had the same problem with my Odric, Lunarch Marshall EDH deck and decided to make protection a sub theme.
You could run Flickering Ward for recurring protection and Eldrazi Monument could also be a strong include if you can sacrifice a token in your upkeep. Your deck would also benefit from Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves. Mother of Runes is also great for early game protection.
If you have the mana then Eight-and-a-Half-Tails is a great addition and can protect several dino's at once (he is completely of flavor though). Glory is also a great option if you can get it into your graveyard.
Spectra Ward combined with Concerted Effort is a great shield for your creatures, when you combine these with Eldrazi Monument it's almost impossible to remove them.
Hope you can do some tinkering with these suggestions!

TheDeckMaker2300: I actually have a huge update coming to the deck next Friday. I'm adding 19 cards to the deck.
- Huatli, Radiant Champion: Flavor and she's my favorite planeswalker.
- Zetalpa, Primal Dawn: Zetalpa is a primal and is a must.
- Frilled Deathspitter: Deals 2 damage to the face.
- Ghalta, Primal Hunger: Ghalta is a primal and is a must.
- Etali, Primal Storm: Etali is a primal and is a must.
- Farseek: Not a RIX card, but I want to change around my ramp cards.
- Spoils of Victory: Not a RIX card, but I want to change around my ramp cards.
- Nature's Lore: Not a RIX card, but I want to change around my ramp cards.
- Kavu Lair: A cheaper Garruk's Packleader.
- Forerunner of the Empire: Enrage trigger and tutor.
- Polyraptor: A great enrage card.
- Pyrohemia: Enrage trigger.
- Siegehorn Ceratops: A 2 drop that gets huge fast.
- Zacama, Primal Calamity: A huge 9/9 with amazing abilities! A great commander too.
- Trapjaw Tyrant: Enrage creature that's removal.
- Wayward Swordtooth: A nice 5/5 that acts as mana ramp.
- Silverclad Ferocidons: A nice enrage creature that's removal.
- Raging Regisaur: A okay enrage enabler, but is a 4 drop.
- Knight of the Stampede: A huge reducer on a creature.

That's cool ideas
However there's three more thing you could/should put in
Number 1
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/rivals-ixalan-oracle-changes-2018-01-11
Regal Behemoth is now a dinosaur instead of a lizard
You got another card draw and ramp at the same time card to put in.
Number twoRite of Passage it pretty much gives the whole army Snapping Sailback enrage trigger
Number 3Temple Altisaur negates all damage to all dinosaur to 1 except this one give it indestructible then all the sudden Blasphemous Act becomes a 1 sided sweep like Plague Wind (most of the time)
Oh enrage has slight more focus now
So I got three for ya
The last one may not be such a good idea but with Ravenous Daggertooth + Rite of Passage it negates the damage from the leave play

TheDeckMaker2300: As much as I like enrage, I don't want to have it take over my deck. I have thought about putting Rite of Passage into the deck. Temple Altisaur was original going into the deck, but I opt to not put him in there simply because I didn't want to focus too much on the enrage.
Thanks for the article. I heard they were changing some more lizards to dinosaurs, but I didn't know who or where the article was (I am a bit lazy).
I will take what you have told me into consideration after I play around with Ixalan Park V2.0 (If I even get to V1.0).

Looking for other decklists to compare to my own Gishath list, and stumbled across yours. I think it's really cool that you're following the Professor's advice on land ratios, but keep in mind those are averages. Your commander is a whopping eight mana; you need to be able to hit amount quickly. I'd spike to about 10-15 accelerators actually. I recommend any combination of Atzocan Seer, Wayward Swordtooth, Drover of the Mighty, Knight of the Stampede, Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Explosive Vegetation, Farseek, Gruul Signet, Selesnya Signet, Boros Signet, Pillar of Origins, Mirari's Wake, and/or Zendikar Resurgent.

Great tribe! +1
Maybe Drumhunter is a better draw engine than Garruk's Packleader? Because he ramps, is a draw engine and 1 mana cheaper.
And from my personal view he is also great for your deck flavor wise.
